Purchasing Tip of the Month
Purchases that exceed $10,000 and are not from a current state or College contract must be awarded through the bidding process. The type of bid will be determined by a Procurement Officer based on what you are seeking to purchase and the cost. To get the process started, submit a requisition in eProcure using the non-catalog form and selecting ‘Needsbid’ as the vendor.
Once you ‘Place the Order’, the request will route to the Office of Procurement. A Procurement Officer will be assigned and will contact you for more information and help guide you through the process. Failure to follow this procedure is considered an Unauthorized Purchase.

PCard
Did you know if you use your PCard in eProcure to pay for a qualifying purchase that you don’t have to create a receipt in eProcure and the vendor will be paid in 24 to 48 hours?
